I didn't recommend that we kill Palestinians. I said we'll have to kill them. I was right about mounting demographic pressures.
The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.
There are circumstances in history that justify ethnic cleansing ... A Jewish state would not have come into being without the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians. Therefore it was necessary to uproot them ... It was necessary to cleanse the hinterland ...
When 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it's going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today, with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam. The pressure at the border will be awful. It's going to be a terrible war. So, if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.
The barbarians who want to take our lives [are like serial killers]. The people the Palestinian society sends to carry out the terrorist attacks, and in some way the Palestinian society itself as well. At the moment, that society is in the state of being a serial killer. It is a very sick society. It should be treated the way we treat individuals who are serial killers.
[In] certain conditions, expulsion is not a war crime. I don't think that the expulsions of 1948 were war crimes. You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. You have to dirty your hands.
You have to put things in proportion. These are small war crimes.
Something like a cage has to be built for them [Palestinians]. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another.
Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take now will stay ours … Everything we don’t grab will go to them.
Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
I wish I could wake up one day and find that Gaza has sunk into the sea.
Personal terrorism is a way of fighting that is acceptable under certain conditions and by certain movements.
When we have settled the land … all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged roaches in a bottle.
The frontier is where Jews live, not where there is a line on the map.
The thesis that the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed after the war.
There was no such thing as Palestinians
How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.
I want them all to go, even if they go to the moon.
We view them like donkeys. They don't care. They accept it with love.
An Ashkenazi gangster, thief, pimp or murderer will not gain the sympathy of the Ashkenazi community (if there is such a thing), nor will he expect it. But in such a primitive community as the Marrocans - such a thing is possible…
We must do everything to insure they never do return.
What is necessary is cruel and strong reactions. We need precision in time, place, and casualties. If we know the family, we must strike mercilessly, women and children included. Otherwise, the reaction is inefficient. At the place of action, there is no need to distinguish between guilty and innocent.
They [Palestinians in a future Israel] can either be mass arrested or expelled; it's better to expel them.
The purchase was accompanied, interestingly, by transfer of population... by this [act] we will reduce the number of Arabs [in Palestine].
The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.
It [democracy in Palestine] does not take into consideration the superiority of the Jews over the Arabs, meaning the fundamental qualitative difference between Jews and Arabs.
The Jewish Question exists wherever Jews live in perceptible numbers. Where it does not exist, it is carried by Jews in the course of their migrations. We naturally move to those places where we are not persecuted, and there our presence produces persecution. This is the case in every country, and will remain so, even in those highly civilized- for instance, France- until the Jewish question finds a solution on a political basis. The unfortunate Jews are now carrying the seeds of Anti-Semitism into England; they have already introduced it into America.
Liars, whiners, disgusting stinky losers. They walk with flip-flops! Repulsive. Really, repulsive people. There's nothing human about it. But it's amazing how the world is able not to see it.
This sweeping compassion, like "we're all human beings?" No! No! People are the fruit of education they are raised on. And if they raise you like a vermin, that's what you'll become: a gutter vermin. Disgusting rapist. A human that is filth, son of filth.
I'm a Palestinian. From `21 until `48, I carried a Palestinian passport.
My soul yearns for the dowry, and to let someone else take the bride.
Palestine cannot absorb the Jews of Europe. We want only the best of Jewish youth to come to us. We want only the educated to enter Palestine for the purpose of increasing its culture. The other Jews will have to stay where they are and face whatever fate awaits them. These millions of Jews are dust on the wheels of history and they may have to be blown away. We don’t want them pouring into Palestine. We don’t want Tel Aviv to become another low-grade ghetto.
Each country can absorb only a limited number of Jews, if she doesn’t want disorders
If I knew that it was possible to save all the (Jewish) children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the fate of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel.
We have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?
Both humanitarian aid to Hamas and a demand for arrest warrants against state leaders. The Hague teaches the State of Israel anew the concept of both eating the putrid fish and being expelled from the city. I call to announce an immediate halt to humanitarian aid to Hamas and to boycott the deliberation in The Hague, which condemned us, beforehand, with illegitimate rules.
There were 200 villages [in the front] and these are gone. We had to destroy them, otherwise we would have had Arabs [in the southern part of Palestine] as we have in the Galilee. We would have had another million Palestinians.
Our thought is that the colonization of Palestine has to go in two directions: Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel and the resettlement of the Arabs of Eretz Israel in areas outside the country.
I think you are all totally ignorant in your Ramat Yochanan [a training base of the Haganah] since you do not even know the elementary use of bayonets when attacking dirty Arabs: how can you put your left foot in front!
It is our right to transfer the Arabs.
We're racist because we want to preserve our lives and our sanity. So I'm proud to be a racist! And it's our right to racist!
No one will give us this country. In order to take it, we must rely on our own strength.
On the day I arrived at the Gaza Strip I saw a crowded area, full of people, elderly, children, youth. From my perspective they were all militants, they were all terrorists. They need to be annihilated. That's what I thought.
Human life is more important here. There, people die to be martyrs. They are born to die... The entire generation (of Israelis) that experienced October 7th will grow up to hate Arabs. I am 22 years old and this is my problem and that of this entire generation.
We must expel Arabs and take their places...and, if we have to use force-not to dispossess the Arabs of the Negev and Transjordan, but to guarantee our own right to settle in those places-then we have force at our disposal.
The compulsory transfer of the [Palestinian] Arabs from the valleys of the proposed Jewish state could give us something which we never had, even when we stood on our own during the days of the first and second Temples. We are given an opportunity which we never dared to dream of in our wildest imaginings. This is more than a state, government and sovereignty, this is national consolidation in a free homeland.
In many parts of the country new settlement will not be possible without transferring the [Palestinian] Arab fellahin. it is important that this plan comes from the [British Peel] Commission and not from us. Jewish power, which grows steadily, will also increase our possibilities to carry out the transfer on a large scale.
With compulsory transfer we [would] have a vast area [for settlement]. I support compulsory transfer. I don't see anything immoral in it.
Just as I do not see the proposed Jewish state as a final solution to the problems of the Jewish people, so I do not see partition as the final solution of the Palestine question. Those who reject partition are right in their claim that this country cannot be partitioned because it constitutes one unit, not only from a historical point of view but also from that of nature and economy
After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the [Jewish] state, we shall abolish partition and expand to the whole of the Palestine
